My Best Friend Wedding

My best friend's wedding is a movie about a woman named Julianne who is a food critic, by a promise made years earlier. She had a best friend named Michael who she had been romantically involved with during college. Things did not work out between them so they decided to remain best of friends. They also agreed that if they were 28 years old and had not gotten married, they would marry each other. Michael was a sports writer and always traveled all over the country. When she finds out that he's marrying someone else, she becomes jealous and tries to break off the wedding. After Michael tells his best friend, Julianne that he is getting married in four days, she goes straight to Chicago to help him get through. But she has every intention to stop the wedding and steal the groom from Kimberly. She finds out that she loves him and wants him for herself. So, she sets out to break off the wedding, but things prove to be really difficult, since the bride seems to be "the perfect woman.

Julianne did not evaluate the alternatives she had properly before she acted on it.

She made the choice of breaking up the wedding just two days to the wedding. She flew to Chicago to with the intention of tearing up the wedding. She implemented it by performing acts that almost split up the couples by telling different sending false email as states above. Finally, when she evaluated her decision, she realized that her decision failed. Like she said in the movie, she was telling Kimmy that she lost but Kimmy wins. She did not evaluate her alternatives properly. She did not try to find out which one of them does Michael loves more. She got to realize in a terrible way I would say.

Discussing words from the text, we see that there are different stages of decision making. Identifying the situation is the first one. One has to identify the problem before any other step is taken. In Julianne case, she identified the problem as Michael marrying another woman. She considers this as a problem because she was relying on him marrying her when they turned twenty eight years old then she was
